  • In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Using a piping bag, fill each mini cannoli shell with the ricotta mixture.

Notes

Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best freshness. It is best to fill the shells just before serving to maintain their crispiness. You can prepare the filling a day in advance.
